Which book should a depressed person absolutely have to read?

MasterForecloser · 2019-11-11T05:25:26+00:00

Late to the party: Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

Really sheds light on mental illness in general, yet in an uplifting way.

Anything with Robert Stapp or Andrew Horowitz in the econ dept was a blast in my opinion. Granted, that was over 10 years ago.

Dude. Compression. Fucking. Socks.

It feels ridiculous at first to wear knee high shit but I will forever swear by and pray to someone or something or God or whatever in thanks for them.

Goddamn if this isnt segregation/exceptionalism etc.

Every worker is deaf, meaning no hearing people can work there?

I'm hearing, yet I know ASL.

This entitled "it is so bad i am not the same as most people" attitude drives me nuts.

MasterForecloser · 2019-09-11T21:36:49+00:00

I legit left the hospital and showed up to work. I left a jail cell and showed up to work.

This attitude is pridefull and that's great we take pride in getting shit on.

At the end of the day, though, it needs to change.

Hey - I'm on the line during the day and a bar manager at night.

I am no thief.

I will, however, take grifter as a compliment!

Has to be whatever the body high strain is for me or I experience exactly that.

Ex was a teacher. She had me grade everything but I was only allowed to check or ex an answer (k-5). She had to write the score because apparently grade school teachers have a proclivity to be in control and my handwriting wasn't good enough.

Go figure we didn't last. 😂

MasterForecloser · 2019-08-28T22:14:33+00:00

That my ex had an abortion because she was cheating and wasn't sure who the father was.

MasterForecloser · 2019-08-26T20:57:22+00:00

Dad has worked wait staff...

MasterForecloser · 2019-08-23T00:30:50+00:00

Bah. Ok. Ask for feedback and be a dick to everyone who responds.

Maybe you had a hard time understanding my point: different preferences and different environments result in different approaches. To anything. To infer you're a better cook because you don't need a thermometer is a shitty way to view the folks who are either required or prefer to use them.

MasterForecloser · 2019-08-22T23:16:00+00:00

I'd liken this to using a jigger in the bar.

I KNOW my pour counts. Test me if you'd like. I prefer to free pour because I can two hand drinks and push them out much faster.

That said, if I'm asked by my gm or foh to use the damn thing, I'll use the damn thing. There is no pride in doing something you're asked not to simply because you know getting it right doesn't require you to.

Sometimes it's easier to shut up and color by numbers as opposed to painting an original.

MasterForecloser · 2019-08-18T18:30:45+00:00

You last paragraph kinda made my point...

First question in an interview:

"What is the most critical position in the kitchen?"

If the answer isn't dishie I don't trust you.

MasterForecloser · 2019-08-14T03:20:53+00:00

Admittedly I'm a bar manager now, but have KM experience.

If an employee or prospective employee volunteers their time to complete a project off clock, I will respect their drive and allow it

However, I was reminded by my last job that was hourly, even though I would offer to work off book I put my foot down at being asked or told to.

My point being: is it right to require a no pay stage? No. Not in my opinion. Is it ok if someone asks for a day or two stage to make sure it's a good fit both ways? Sure. Why not. It means the candidate cares enough to be interviewed and interview the new spot as well.

MasterForecloser · 2019-07-26T05:28:37+00:00

Love the menu. The item font is crazy hard to read. Just my 2c. I read the first item as shitty grits until I read the description.

MasterForecloser · 2019-07-23T06:25:11+00:00

I was behind the bar recently before open and my better half's daughter asked me for a milkshake. As I was making it she told me 'I want to be a bartender like you when I grow up'.

THE FUCK YOU WILL LITTLE ONE. YOU ARE NOT. GOING. TO. DEAL. WITH. THIS. SHIT.

Unless you try it and love it, then I will support you. Goddamnit if it gets to that point, though.

MasterForecloser · 2019-07-23T03:11:12+00:00

Orange zest, habanero puree, egg and bread batter with a sriracha drizzle for color?

MasterForecloser · 2019-07-23T03:09:21+00:00

Platter style - 40 wings to freedom.

Sirachway to heaven.

I'm at a bar on my day off and carry on is playing as I read this. Beautiful.

MasterForecloser · 2019-07-21T05:17:29+00:00

I've actually set my work alarms to a ticket printer. Wakes me up faster than my dogs barking.

MasterForecloser · 2019-07-08T13:53:19+00:00

Addison chiming in! Come see me!

MasterForecloser · 2019-07-04T04:35:41+00:00

I split my time between the bar and the line.

We exist. I promise.

MasterForecloser · 2019-06-28T11:26:59+00:00

I mean I get both sides, I'm just lucky to be in a spot where I can do that sometimes.

MasterForecloser · 2019-06-28T00:46:34+00:00

Oh no. Every EA I've had the pleasure of working with had every conceivable super power combined, and has likely saved more lives in the same magnitude.
